12th September. today marks the day that Kim Jongin becomes independent! ㄱㄱ the new apartment’s not bad for the rent and it’ll be nicer once i move all the furniture in. everyone i’ve met in the complex so far is friendly (aside from the ajumma on the 3rd floor — she won’t keep her hands to herself…ㅠㅠ)

15th September. sometimes i hear someone playing the piano just down the hall. whoever it is is really talented. a music student maybe? ah i wonder what they’re like… i want to meet that person. maybe we can be friends~

21st September. there is a face to that pianist! i only caught a glimpse of him when he entered his apartment but my 20/20 vision does not deceive me. he is cute. he looked a little sad though. i would have said hi but i just came back from practice. first impressions are important and i rather not be remembered as the smelly but handsome guy ;; maybe when i’m not busy i’ll ask him out for lunch.

28th September. ran into the ahjumma from the 5th floor in the lobby today. we made small talk (well, she did most of it) and she said that it’s been a while since someone my age has lived here. has she not seen the boy that lives on my floor? i think she’s getting old. oh that was mean. sorry! you make really nice kimbap!

30th September. he was playing chopin today.

3rd October. ran into kimbap-making-prodigy ajumma again. she didn’t remember our conversation a few days ago but it is through this that i found out something new. it’s strange. she said that ever since the murder in 614 it’s been a while since someone my age has lived here. that’s down the hall on my floor. she said the boy was studying music composition and played the piano. the music i’ve found myself humming to even when i’m not home. i think she said his name was Kyungsoo.

4th October. i think i hear him screaming.
